Key Facts

>$200 Billion
Invested In Energy Security
EEI member companies are projected to invest more than $200 billion this year to make the energy grid smarter, stronger, cleaner, more dynamic, and more secure.
~$45 Billion
In Customer Savings
EEI estimates that approximately $45 billion will be passed through to customers in the form of lower bills from 2025–2031 due to existing tax incentives.
>$25 Billion
Paid For State and Local Taxes
EEI member companies often are the highest state and local taxpayers in their respective states, collectively paying more than $25 billion annually. This revenue goes toward funding schools, public safety services, and local road construction and maintenance.

Energy Tax Credits

EEI’s member companies and their regulators share the goal of providing customers with safe and reliable electricity at the lowest cost possible. 

State regulators factor federal taxes into their process for setting electricity rates, and they require electric companies to pass tax credit savings directly through to customers. That means every dollar EEI’s member companies receive from federal tax credits or from the transfer of federal tax credits helps to lower customer bills.

Financial Review

The EEI Financial Review is an annual report on the financial performance and strategic direction of the electric power industry. The report includes discussions of: industry-level financial results, stock performance, dividends, credit ratings, rate reviews, construction activity, fuel sources, business segmentation, as well as mergers and acquisitions.
